Cone and melanopsin contributions to human brightness estimation: comment.

J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis

Published: October 2018

A recent study of large-field subjective brightness perception under different narrowband spectra and different luminances revealed distinct contributions of cone photoreceptors and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells containing the photopigment melanopsin. The data from this study were analyzed with a recently published model of spectral sensitivity for full-field brightness incorporating three primary channels: a luminance (achromatic) channel, a blue-yellow opponent color channel, and a melanopsin channel. There was good agreement between predictions based on this model and the recently published brightness perception data.

Many clinical sites shifted towards digital delivery of mental health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is still much to learn regarding tailoring digitally delivered interventions for trauma-affected populations. The current study examined the perceptions of Canadian mental health clinicians who provided digitally delivered psychotherapies utilized for trauma-affected populations.

Microsaccades are associated with enhanced visual perception and neural sensitivity right before their onset, and this has implications for interpreting experiments involving the covert allocation of peripheral spatial attention. However, the detailed properties of premicrosaccadic enhancement are not fully known. Here we investigated how such enhancement in the superior colliculus depends on luminance polarity.

As a result of the significant changes in businesses around the globe such as the generalization of remote working and digital transformation, the boundaries between work and private life tend to vanish, causing concerns about whether individuals' investment in their work could have detrimental effects on their life and health. In such context, the notion of heavy work investment, an umbrella construct that subsumes different forms of investment of the self into the work domain, warrants scholarly attention as it may have both a bright and dark side for individuals. The present study focuses on three forms of heavy work investment, i.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the spinal cord is relevant for studying sensation, movement, and autonomic function. Preprocessing of spinal cord fMRI data involves segmentation of the spinal cord on gradient-echo echo planar imaging (EPI) images. Current automated segmentation methods do not work well on these data, due to the low spatial resolution, susceptibility artifacts causing distortions and signal drop-out, ghosting, and motion-related artifacts.
